Science & Technology
Assistant Professor Longji Cui and his team have developed a new technology to turn thermal radiation into electricity in a way that literally teases the basic law of thermal physics.
A new laser-based device can scan almost any sample of gas and detect its molecular ingredients down to concentrations in the parts per trillion—not unlike an expert sommelier taking a sniff of a glass of wine.
The Research & Innovation Office announced a targeted realignment in November to enhance strategic integration across key areas and best position itself to serve the university's growing research and innovation needs.
One popular theory suggests that elementary particles like electrons, which make up everything in the universe, could be infinitely small—you could zoom in and in on them and never see anything.
A new strategy for measuring magnetic fields could one day lead to a host of new quantum sensors—from tools that might map out the activity of the human brain to devices that could help airplane pilots navigate the globe.
CU Boulder chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS.
Beer historian and CU Boulder Assistant Professor Travis Rupp explains why canned beer, celebrating its 90th anniversary, has been immensely impactful for the industry.
Last year, CU Boulder helped to launch a record 35 new companies. These businesses are pioneering new technologies from sensors for monitoring soil health to breathalyzers that can sniff out signs of lung cancer.
In a recent study, CU Boulder’s Robert Moulder and colleagues found that individuals with trait neuroticism rarely modify how they respond to negative emotions.
CU Boulder’s Living Materials Laboratory contributed to groundbreaking research showing how engineered microbes can create bioglass microlenses, paving the way for advanced imaging technologies in medicine and materials science.
